Dubbed the "Porcelain Capital of China," Jingdezhen is globally celebrated for its unique porcelain, known for their distinct qualities: "as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as resonant as a chime stone." Remarkably, the city preserves the complete 72-step traditional process of porcelain making, from raw material preparation to the final firing. In 2006, Jingdezhen's handcrafted porcelain techniques were inscribed on China's list of the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Jingdezhen is much more complex than its ancient roots suggest. It's currently alive with fresh energy, largely thanks to the "jingpiao" phenomenon—the migration of tens of thousands of international artists, entrepreneurs, and young students who choose to pursue their craft and life here. Through the fusion of age-old artistry and modern concepts, they have elevated this Porcelain Capital with a thousand-year legacy into a leading cultural hub—a place where tradition meets groundbreaking creativity, and where domestic culture interacts with global perspectives.
